I'll be giving this a go. I loved the MP on it, especially on the level with the big boat and castle(I think

)

And there's a high res pack for download. MUST TRY IT.

Duke Nukem 3D to feature Saved Replay and Rewind Feature

Xboxic said:
Microsoft recently informed the masses at X08 in Toronto that the game would feature the option to record in-game clips and the ability to rewind a portion of the game when it releases sometime in September.

The first feature will allow players to record game clips during multiplayer matches and then share them with other users over Xbox Live ala Halo 3. As for the rewind function, it will enable players to reverse time and replay a particular part of the game. These two new features, plus the multiplayer ones exposed by the game’s Achievements, make it seem like the XBLA edition of Duke Nukem 3D won’t be a cheap one, so don’t be shocked if 3D Realms charges 1200 Microsoft Points for it.

Sounds quite good, but the 1200 points might put me off

1200 points, will still buy it but i'm hoping this doesn't become the standard for all XBLA games.

Heres some gameplay footage. Graphics look mostly the same as the original.

There were not WS monitors around when DN3D was released!

I know what you mean though, it does look dated!

It is dated

I just don't like it when they put them crappy borders around games. I guess its understandable though seeing as duke was released in 1996.

I just want them to stretch it haha.

I'm sure the Build engine could be made to run at higher resolutions though. I remember the DN3D map editor could go up to resolutions of 1280x1024 and higher.

The game will be released next wednesday (24th September).
They have also released an official trailer. Can't wait for 8 player co-op and dukematch.

I don't understand why people are actually planning to spend money on this?! Some things are often best left as fond memories. It really won't cut the mustard these days.

No ones mentioned the Saturn version yet... that had improved explosions and the Battletank mini game.

The N64 version had an exclusive episode of 11 levels. The nudity was toned down but the gore was increased (women with hooks in their heads anyone?). Oh and the 3rd boss was re-done in 3D.

And not forgetting the Megadrive version:http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9doqwl-U7jU

I played Death Tank Zweii more than Duke3D!

I regular had 5-6 players on it including my mum!
